MUSIC IN THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY

Author(s):

Richard Taruskin

That kind of emulation—outward homage concealing an effort to surpass—has an ancient history in the literate music of the West, and has often seemed to drive that history, insofar as the history of music is conceived as the history of innovative composing techniques. Early instances of creative emulation include the many polyphonic Mass Ordinary cycles composed in the fifteenth century on shared cantus firmus melodies like L’Homme armé, with their dizzying feats of contrapuntal virtuosity.
